Monica Kovacs, whose own path from shame to embodiment shapes her compassionate approach to sex coaching

Hello and welcome…

Reaching out about your sexuality takes courage. Many of the people I work with have carried questions, pain or longing for years without anyone safe to talk to. Whatever brings you here, you won't shock me, and you won't be judged.

I grew up in a deeply religious household, steeped in a fear-based, fundamentalist understanding of God, sex and relationships. For years, I struggled with shame, disconnection from my body, and a fear that I was broken and deviant.

When I left home, I gave myself permission to fully embrace and explore my sexuality, and to carve out a new spiritual path that could hold space for the totality of our human experience. That journey of reclaiming my body and my desire is what led me to this work. I know firsthand how much is possible when shame begins to loosen its grip, and it's a gift to walk alongside others on that path.

I believe our bodies hold an inner intelligence that knows how to heal when given the right conditions. My role is to create those conditions: a warm, trauma-informed space where you set the pace, all touch is consent-based, and you can explore what has felt too hard to face elsewhere.

My mission is to help build a world where sexuality is no longer taboo, and where we live in reverence for life because we're connected to the sacred within. That journey begins in the body.

MY APPROACH

01 / PRESENCE

Presence is the state from which new possibilities emerge.
Traumas keep us trapped in old patterns, bound to recreate the same future. We begin by addressing wounds, helping to clear these programs from the body and return the bodymind to the spaciousness of the present moment.
02/ EMBODIMENT

We live in a culture that promotes mind over matter, therefore living in the body is foreign experience to many.
We work on grounding into the body through breath, sound, movement and touch. Through these ongoing practices we become more skilled at inhabiting ourselves, understanding our erotic landscape, and becoming more relationally attuned.
03/ EXPANSION

The health and functioning of our nervous system determines our capacity for range: from deep relaxation to wild ecstasy.
The more we are able to expand our range, the more we can open ourselves to those earth shattering experiences we crave.

"Monica was the driving force when I started my self healing journey. With her therapeutic sessions as my starting point, I was able to find confidence within myself - not just inside the bedroom, but permeating throughout all aspects of my life."

—David S.
"Monica is a gifted healer. Within the session there were waves of emotion that arose in me and she compassionately welcomed my outflow of words, wonder and tears. I felt safe in her presence and precious beneath her touch."

—Geoff G.
"Monica gives herself fully in her sessions and it comes through in her energy, in her poise and presence. I can't recommend Monica enough.

—Marc S.
"Seeing Monica has been such an empowering experience. She has helped me to achieve confidence that not only applies to relationships and sex but to everyday life. I am more confident in recognizing what it is that I want and not being afraid to ask for it. I am more present and have been able to turn off my brain and be fully in the moment."

—Stefanie
